The controversy stems from Google's Street View feature, which provides pictures from within neighborhoods. Authorities say the feature may violate privacy laws and last month, Google representatives acknowledged they had mistakenly collected data over public Wi-Fi networks in more than 30 countries.

State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal plans to hold a news conference Monday to announce he's asking Google whether it wrongly collected the data in Connecticut.

Police in Germany and Australia already have launched their own investigations into the matter.
